Away from fossil fuels and towards an inexpensive, easily available, and environmentally friendly alternative source of energy. This is being implemented in Kerala, India's southwestern state, with the help of biogas. Where households, communities and institutions previously used firewood and got their electricity from the local grid, locally installed biogas plants now generate clean energy from organic waste. Food scraps such as vegetable peelings or organic wastewater ferment in the approximately 17,000 closed containers, thus avoiding methane and carbon dioxide emissions. Annually, the project saves a total of about 38,900 tonnes of CO₂.

By managing waste directly at the source, residents help improve their own waste management and hygiene standards. The biogas provides them with clean energy for cooking and heating, without producing smoke or polluting the air. By operating and maintaining the plants, the project creates long-term jobs for locals.
